We expect a lot from our PhD candidates - initiative, imagination, leadership, and the ability to work closely with senior clients, just for starters.

You will be a key member of a team that works together under tight deadlines to deliver flawlessly.

You will work hard, but you will learn more than you ever thought possible, building first-rate business skills, working with the best minds in finance and making contacts that will last you a lifetime. Whether your long-term goal is to have a career in investment banking, run your own company or try something completely different, what you learn at  J.P. Morgan will provide an invaluable foundation.

We'll tell you what to expect as a PhD candidate, and provide tips on how to create a strong curriculum vitae and cover letter. You will also learn how best to prepare for an interview and get answers to some frequently asked questions on the process.

By explaining how we go about recruiting top PhD candidates, we hope to give you an idea of what to expect along the way - and help you see that J.P. Morgan is where you need to be.
